From the "libs make the word "some" seem like a big concern" department - Online story: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday moved a step closer to fulfilling his campaign promise to reform the troubled Veterans Affairs department, but some veterans groups are concerned that the administration may be working toward privatizing their healthcare." -- "some veteran groups"? Good grief.. "some" can be two-out-of-a-million", but the important aspect of Trump's promise AND bill is that veterans are getting better HEALTHCARE!

Sarah Palin has asked Elizabeth Warren to stop "stealing" her oft used phrase "fight like a girl". Palin's probably right.. Warren has a history of stealing other people's "stuff" ... like "stealing" her "Native American
 heritage so she could apply as a minority for a plum Harvard teaching position.

Online headline: "Supreme Court justices show support for church, in Gorsuch's 1st high-profile case" -- More of a "return" to church support.... church support was a prime concern of our Founding Fathers, but liberalism within the court system has eroded that over the last 40+ years.

Hmmm.. Bill O'Reilly is out at Fox...Fox will be the big loser in this, but CNN, MSNBC,  et al will not benefit from viewer gain.. Fox just joins them in muffling free speech.

Online headline/story: "Border Patrol agents save two men from drowning in Rio Grande *  the men had been swimming with their families when they began struggling to stay afloat. The shouting from people on the Mexico side of the riverbank attracted the two agents.  *  The agents pulled the men out of the water and into their patrol boat before dropping them back onto the Mexican side of the river. The CBP statement said the agents were "applauded and thanked" by the waiting crowd." -- And a pat on the back for President Trump is due...he is responsible for keeping two Mexican families together... if Obama.. or for that matter, Hellary was president, the two men would probably have drowned due to cutbacks they favor in border patrols.

L-E headline: ":L-E headline: "MUSCOGEE SCHOOL BOARD * Decision to delay vote prompts complaint" --

Did I hear that Idi.. uh Theresa El-Amin is moving back to NC.. aside from NC doesn't need her, our whole community is blessed at her moving back there..

L-E editorial headline: "EDITORIAL * Forest deal sounds like win-win" -- Hmmm... when politicians and private interests team up to pull off a land swap, you can bet the general public is not going to be a winner .. especially when the L-E sides with the politicians and private interests.. We only have to look at how Columbus citizens have had their tax dollars poured into the Chattahoochee and there will be no adequate  short or long term "return on investment".

From the "wanna bet mainscream media isn't concerned" department - Online headline/story: Fresno shooting rampage: Police say suspect in 'hate crime' showing no remorse *  This is a hate crime based on race and gender,” Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer told reporters at a news conference. * Thirty-nine-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad, who is black, wanted to kill as many white people as possible after a warrant for his arrest was released in the murder of a 25-year-old Motel 6 security guard Carl Williams last week. *  Muhammad told police he did not like white men and said they were responsible for “keeping black people down.” *  Dyer said Muhammad told police that he gave himself up because he respects Fresno officers, didn't want them to shoot him and is not a "coward. * Muhammad yelled "Allahu akbar," or "God is great," during his arrest and described himself as Muslim" -- "yelled 'Allahu Akbar".. and claimed "he is not a coward"?  What part of this being a jihadist terror attack does mainscream media not understand? Oh, and the (_*_) IS a coward..

HuffPOOPOO headline: "These companies will give you paid time off to protest President Trump * A growing number of companies in Silicon Valley will now offer paid time off for their employees to protest the president." -- These companies include "Facebook", and other lesser known companies like "Fauna", "Turbine Labs", "Bouyant", and "Jelly Labs". We can fight back.. especially with Facebook.. just do not buy their services for your businesses, and do  not click on any ads for companies who have.

What is with advocates for a $15.00 minimum wage?..First, minimum wage is an entry level, not a career goal. It's up to the worker to make him/herself "more valuable" and earn raises. Contrary to liberals' propaganda, small business owners love to reward hard workers with raises.

---
You know, the Common CRAP Curriculum has really let down our nations' students over the years.. It has failed to show them that they need something other than a "Participation Certificate Diploma" in order to progress beyond "entry level wages".

Tis nice...encouraging..to hear the Trump team telling Iran that there's a new Sheriff in town. Israel is fortunate it didn't need our help when Obama was in office.

While the GA Republicans escaped an all out, mega-dollar assault on District 6,, and did get into a runoff election, but.. BUT the GA Republicans are not out of the fire.. yet.. Even if there is a complete unity move within the party, can perpetual candidate Karen Handel generate excitement that she's conservative enough to get the voters back to the ballot boxes?

L-E headline: "4 people shot this week: Residents wonder if their community can be saved" --  There has to be "unity in the community" to support our police officers and court system.. Street gangs and drug dealers sense they are immune to prosecution when all law-abiding citizens fail to cooperate with law enforcement.

From the "Hey, L-E, how about identifying Mayor Tom-LYING-son's "soundoff" entries" department - LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Like Billy Winn’s old boat, the Government Center building is “Beyond Repair.”- Well it's more like the government center building was/is "beyond consideration for ongoing maintenance".. I guess when the City and MCSD share the same resources, both have found it easier to let buildings "rot" so money can be spent on wasteful personal agenda items.. I figure that once Mayor Tom-LYING-son aw that Dr Lewis could get a new.. and totally unneeded high school.. to replace a highly neglected one, she could do the same with the Government Center complex.

Super-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The “Great Wall” will cost more than $20 billion, and will do little or nothing to stop illegal immigration, which mainly consists of people who overstay their visas." -- "mainly overstay their visas"? Please... puh-leeeeese.. somebody cut this liberal's Kool-Aid supply off!

 

---

Sentimental L-E "soundoff": "A huge thank you to Mike Owen for his fun and interesting writings! We will miss you! I have a feeling that good times and much happiness will follow you and Allison into the sunset!" -- We will miss Mike Owen, but the L-E's credibility as a newspaper will miss him more.

L-E headline: "Ex-NFL star Hernandez hangs himself in his prison" -- Did you know that lawyers are raising an issue that Hernandez  was possibly murdered.. Yeah, right .. like it would take a crew to bring his ex-pro-football pleyer inder control. and his body would be loaded with bruises and abrasions...

L-E headline/story: "Auto parts supplier creating 100 jobs with major plant expansion * Auto parts supplier Hanwha Advanced Materials America is investing once again in its Opelika, Ala., plant, with expectations of creating 100 jobs." -- Has the L-E ever questioned why these jobs are landed close to Columbus, but not IN Columbus.. Oh, well, I guess doing so would not look good for Mayor Tom-LYING-son..

L-E headline/story: ":City laws are meant to contain roamers, not rapids *  One fall, that’s all. That’s all it takes on the river rocks to knock you out, drop you in the current and send you off to oblivion, if you’re not wearing a life vest. * That’s why Columbus passed a law requiring that anyone out on the whitewater course wear one, and why it has a law against climbing out onto the rocks where you can be stranded by rising water. *  The river belongs to Columbus, so these are not Phenix City’s laws to enforce. Enforcement falls to Columbus police and to Department of Fire & Emergency Medical Services investigators with law enforcement power." -- "enforcement falls to Columbus police and to Department of Fire & Medical Services"? Hmm in other words.. Mayor Tom-LYING-son could make the CPD and FD be on the job.. but that's not going to happen as long as she is milking the WhiteWater concession for every fee penny she can..

L-E headline/story: "Another nearby planet found that may be just right for life * Astronomers have found yet another planet that seems to have just the right Goldilocks combination for life: Not so hot and not so cold. It’s not so far away, either." -- Now, the BIG question.. why isn't there life like ours on that (and other similar) planets? God is the answer..

L-E "headLIE" : "Berkeley cancels Coulter talk over fear of violence" -- Good grief.. "fear of violence"? WRONG! How about fear of new (or even old proven) and challenging ideas?
